Which society is sexist? Because that metaphor is age-old, dating back in both Western and Eastern literature. In fact, it’s pretty much a cliche. And I’m not sure why it is sexist to say that a woman is a lock or a man a key.

@ekko “I’m not sure why it is sexist to say that a woman is a lock or a man a key.” … I think it is seen as sexist because it presumes a directionality ‘men open women’ as ‘keys open locks’ … that the man acts upon the woman as a key acts upon a lock. Women are presented as being passive receptors of men, as locks are passive receptors of keys.

It was meant as a joke, I get it, but it maintains sexual imbalances; one side holds the power (good locks reject even skilled lock picks … or a great lock pick can open any lock). In maintaining that imbalance, it is sexist.

@Kendra “Men are always horny, its up to the women to keep them in line.” … so we switch the sexism of the 19th century around, and instead of women being flighty beings of emotion, it is men who are incapable of controlling themselves … if a woman gets raped, it’s not the guy’s fault because he’s “always horny” and the woman couldn’t “keep (him) in line.”

It’s completely misogynist and a strawman argument. Women are not inanimate objects. They have sexual desires just as men do. Why should women be expected to suppress their natural urges when men are not?

People like Brandon don’t view women as humans like them, and that’s a very scary thing. On a lighter note, since we know Brandon’s view of sex is that men derive pleasure from sex but women only do so “for their man” concludes that he’s probably f*cking awful in bed and/or has never had sex with a woman.
